why this code outputs 8?

Question

int res=0;
for (int i=1;i<10;i+=3){
if (10/i==2)
//And if I add here "cout<<i; " to make more clear the logic, the result then became much different??? 40
continue;

res+=i;
}
cout << res;

//8

// I missed the closing bracket and added it.

Answer 1

you dont need brackets if your if statement only contains one line, yes it is good practice for those starting off to keep track of there code blocks but of you don't plan on adding logic to the statement the use of no brackets is acceptable for the continue statement

Answer 2

thank you for explaining.

Answer 3

well that code is missing one end bracket to make sense.
And as you have No brackets for the if statement continue Will be executed every time if you insert another statement between if and continue.

Answer 4

Round#1: i=1, if false, res=1
Round#2: i=4, if true (10/4==2 for int) , res=1
Round#3: i=7, if false, res=8
Round#4: i=10, loop quits
